Hi,
I am wondering what types of social events postdocs here would be interested in. We are thinking of doing a family picnic in the summer or fall. Would that be something you would attend? Also, is anyone interested in trivia nights at Otto's? I don't know much about it yet, but I think it is on Tuesday nights.

I was wondering if anyone would like to spend more time outdoors. Maybe we could join a group for walking/running in some park one day on weekends? Eventually we could invite some PI to join us (maybe explicitly organize some "Bring your PI for some fresh air" once a year?), what could in turn help to address mentorship issues.

I'm up for Otto's but I would said that maybe Friday might work better. Perhaps we don't need to make that every week but once a month? Again, maybe once in a while we could invite some PIs to join.

Also, while the mentioned above might not necessarily exclude family participation (in fact it would be cool if we could take the kids for some bird seeing while walking and finish with a barbecue!), we should be aware that July is approaching and there are some events surrounding the Arts Festival, that could be a good opportunity to bring postdocs with kids together and spend some time networking while kids play around.

In the winter time some film series might bring postdocs and families together (while sharing tea/coffee/homemade cakes… yum!)
